Hello, Treasure Maker! This is Junkyu.
I thought a lot about how I should begin this letter, but I hope my sincere feelings are conveyed as they are, so please read it.
Since our debut in 2020, it's already been about six years that I've spent together with Treasure Maker.
During that time, thanks to the immense love you've given me, every single moment has been truly precious and happy.
However, as I kept looking only ahead and running forward with all my strength, I think there came a point where I gradually overlooked the signals my heart and body were giving me.
Because I only wanted to show you my best self, I kept pushing myself without stopping. But now, I've realized that I need to take some time to pause and look after myself.
So, after discussing it thoroughly with the company, I've decided to temporarily suspend my activities and take some time to rest.
To Treasure Maker, who must have been caught off guard by this sudden news, I'm truly sorry for causing you worry.
But I believe this pause is necessary for me to become a healthier and stronger version of myself. I will rest well, organize my thoughts, and come back to you in a healthier state.
Thank you always, and I love you, Treasure Maker.
"during the time i spend reading books, i feel a sense of stability and comfort because i don't have to produce or achieve anything". he said that he cherishes 'the experience of falling deeply into one thing for a long time' and has consistently read around 15 books a year [...] whenever he had time to rest, he made sure to pick up a book. "i still set aside time at dawn to quietly lost myself in thoughts"
reading 15 books a year consistently is truly impressive... sangwon said that he feels a sense of comfort while reading because he doesn't have to produce or achieve anything... that's why whenever he had a spare time, he'd make time to read a book 🥹🫳🏻
from back then till now, he's still the same bookworm who truly loves books 🫂🤍
